What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I'll have some Lions blue in the pocket today in anticipation of this afternoon's game. I have also included a knife for Bucs fans in the photo. Please note, however, that the size of the knives is proportional to today's outcome... 🤣

22 degrees F with a predicted high of 32 which is good :) Freezing rain tonight and tomorrow morning which is bad :( I'd take a little more cold weather and snow over freezing rain any day.
Bunnies for KC! Go Chiefs! The Bills are gonna be tough 🦬🫣

Go Lions!

I chose the 47 today because I figure that’s the number of points the Bills are going to put on the Chiefs tonight!! 😜🤪 Seriously, I hope the Bills can overcome a bunch of injuries and Josh Allen’s propensity to turn the ball over!! Good luck Chiefs fans. Go Bills!! 🦬🦬🦬

No worries Mike! 🤣 I don’t think anyone is giving the Bucs a chance today…again! 🤣

Couldn’t agree more Jim, but your photo looks different on my phone! 🤣🏴‍☠️IMG_0960.jpeg
 
A partly cloudy start to the day here in the City by the Bay! Supposed to get rain later today and tomorrow. In the meantime it’s laundry day and I’m going to watch some football. We will see who the 49ers need to beat to punch their ticket to Vegas. Keeping me company the Modoc Special and a fancy lamb. Have a great Sunday folks! 😀

Thanks Jack! Both of yours look great for today, but the sheath for knife #2 is a real eye catcher :thumbsup:

SAK Pioneer. It doesn't always get in the picture with whatever "main" knife I'm carrying, but it's always there.

I do the same thing with the Farmer X in the picture below. No matter what else I may be carrying I always have that with me :thumbsup::)

Boo, hiss.... I'm just kidding. But seriously go Chiefs! I think this is going to be a difficult game for both teams.


My little Colonial pen keychain knife has turned into a Chiefs pen knife if you look closely.
 
My large (90-100 mm blade length) traditional or modern trad folders at the moment. The locking ones on the left, slip joints on the right. Second from right is the Antonini Caltagirone I bought recently. I thought of returning it since it was flawed, but then thought what the heck, I got it cheap and started working on it. I tightened the grossly loose pivot with ball peen hammer (which resulted also with some scratches), oiled and waxed the wood and then started sandpapering the bolsters with wet sandpaper. Still needs some work, but the result is a working, if rustic knife. I like the style and hope someday to get a nicer real traditional Italian folder. Tomorrow the Antonini will go in my pocket.

I have never seen anyone on the forum with that Otter Messer lockback. I was looking at one of those awhile back. If you don't mind me asking, how is it?

The lock is very solid, seems to be made with tight tolerances. Of course it works different compared to backlock. This works the same as the lock used in a Spanish navaja. By the way, the same knife is available with a backlock.

The construction is play free and the blade is easy to sharpen. So I recommend it.

I know what you mean, I always have an Electrician or Farmer in my bag :) :thumbsup:
Fabulous pic buddy :cool: :thumbsup:
Big Rose is looking good 😍

What is that other knife ?
Thanks Steve :) Sorry, it is a vintage Carl Schlieper gifted to me by Campbellclanman Campbellclanman :) Great steel, and I love the pattern :cool: :thumbsup:
Big Rose pared up nicely. Hope you have a good day.
Thanks a lot David, you too my friend :) :thumbsup:
Thank you Mr. Jack ! Looks like you have all the bases covered today with that pair of fine knives. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ☺️

As for me ............ woke up to -6 degrees this morning 🥶⛄. Today .... we get to start a slow warmup towards the 50's this week and I'm looking forward to it.

I mentioned the bases being covered, but, it ain't about bases around here today. It's about touchdowns. I won't be telling who I'm rooting for ........ well .... not exactly. 🤣

Sweet pairing Steve :) :thumbsup:
Somehow last night I ended out,out by accident.

So I decided to go in a bar nearby rather than a coffee shop as ive not been out at night since my hospital treatment started before Christmas.

Its in the middle of an industrial estate which is a bit strange.

Ex offenders are employed to brew the beer.

The only knife I had on me was this photo which I had saved earlier in the day as I quite liked the look of it.

As I was driving my car I just had a swift Ginger Beer (at least it has beer in the title).

But it was Saturday night there was a few good looking chicas around and I wanted to get ratted and hear loud rock music... 😁

I was sensible (sad), I went home.:( ah well some other time maybe 🤭 😁

















Looks like an interesting place John :cool: Ginger beer is one of the few soft drinks I enjoy! :D :thumbsup:
